GUNK – ‘Subhuman Cellular Mutation’ Album Review, Full Stream

Do you ever have those times when extreme is still not enough, and you want to somehow go beyond to a seemingly non-existent next level? Brutal death and violent grind just aren’t scratching that aural itch?

Well, if you’ve asked yourself either or both questions above, then I’m happy to tell you, Gunk is now here to save the day!

There is absolutely zero out there about who (or better yet, what) comprises the band here known as GUNK. All we can determine via searching elsewhere is they are decidedly *not* four other bands similarly named, and their April 2017 release is spewed forth to the masses via Viscera Gel Prods..

The listener (victim) will just have to go on what is offered in their début, ‘Subhuman Cellular Mutation‘. That is plenty. We also have Viscera’s Facebook and Bandcamp pages for you to peruse, if you desire to take the risk to your delicate psyche. Hey, if it was all that delicate, you wouldn’t be here to begin with.

Spewing forth 13 tracks that clocks in total at a lean 20 minutes, maniacal goregrind/death labeling gets walked right up to the edge of the cliff, then suddenly pushed unceremoniously over with giggling glee.

The whole parade of musical atrocities ultimately gets its most appealing push from the fact the band never takes the affair seriously. It’s unpretentious, silly and fun. The GUNKsters make that pretty clear to all, but the most thick-headed of those who dare venture into their world.

Yes indeedy, ‘Subhuman Cellular Mutation‘ is most definitely not for everyone, or maybe even most everyone. I’ll be damned, though, if I can find much else like Gunk. It is so simultaneously endearing and unrepentantly abrasive. Sweeeeet!
